We looked to mother nature for inspiration in cooling and found it. Renewable, atmospheric energy in the air is used by our air conditioning systems which works similar to a thunderstorm, instead of large amounts of fossil fuels required by vapor (refrigerant) compression air conditioning systems found in most data centers. You could say, AISO is using air conditioners that are a thunderstorm in a box.

The sun produces rays of solar heat to warm the earth, our houses and our water. The solar radiation reaching objects that are not reflective on earth causes solar radiation (heat) to be absorbed, called Albedo, which raises the surrounding air temperature and causes a heat island effect. To combat this we have painted our building completely white.

Our air conditioning system uses pressure to force air from outside of our building into our server room. We have taken these already existing pressures and will be installing a mini wind turbine. The wind turbine installed in the ducting is used to generate electricity to charge batteries, 24 hours a day. The batteries then supply power that powers our 5 watt thin client computers used by our employees in our office.
